VERDI

RIGOLETTO

OCTOBER 19, 22 & 25, 2019 WHO WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH? As the infamous court jester, Rigoletto earns a living by making fun of people’s misery. So when his enemies seek revenge, they take the one thing Rigoletto values most: his daughter Gilda. What follows is a harrowing tale of greed, corruption, and violence that ultimately turns Rigoletto’s own fate into a cruel joke.

MOZART THE

MARRIAGE OF FIGARO

FEBRUARY 1, 4 & 7, 2020 EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE BARBER IS BACK, AND NOW HE’S TYING THE KNOT! Like every young couple, Figaro and Susanna had dreamed of their perfect wedding day. But their plans are thrown into chaos when Figaro’s boss, the Count, sets his sights on Susanna. Mozart’s upstairsdownstairs comedy is complete with mistaken identities, swinging spouses, and some of the most recognizable music ever written!

BERNSTEIN

CANDIDE

OPERA IS THE GREATEST OF ALL THE ARTS – it is music, theatre, dance and the visual arts combined.

Edmonton Opera believes that art brings people together; everyday, bringing artists and audiences together to celebrate shared experiences that resonate beyond the final note.

Founded in 1963, Edmonton Opera is dedicated to producing great performances that showcase the powerful emotions of opera to our community. Each season is designed to resonate with modern audiences; presenting familiar favourites in imaginative new productions, and taking artistic risks by featuring repertoire that audiences rarely get to experience live.

2019/20 SEASON – THRILLING NEW SEASON Edmonton Opera Program Advertising Advertising in the Edmonton Opera Program is a wonderful way to heighten your exposure and achieve greater visibility in the arts community, and specifically to fans of the opera.

With nine performances taking place in the 2019/2020 season, your audience reach is well over 25,000 people.

All performances take place at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, which seats approximately 2,400 people.

PLUS advertising in the Pre-Season Program, distributed in early July at Opera al Fresco, and throughout the summer, you will reach an even wider audience.

Due to the high quality of the program, and the demographics of Opera attendees, the Edmonton Opera Program has the highest pickup rate of any arts program in Edmonton.

Take A Bow! For any Full Page Full Year advertisers, you will receive a pair of tickets to each of the three productions which take place during the 2019/2020 season. (Value of approximately $650.00!) This is our way of saying thanks, plus, a way for you to enjoy an opera performance, and at the same time, you can see your advertising in action!
